Lung Cancer, Metastatic Cancer
Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Patients With Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Spread to the Pleura
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as porfimer sodium, that is absorbed by tumor cells. The drug becomes active when it is exposed to light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed.
- Trial name
- NCT00601848
- Testing
- chemotherapy, porfimer sodium, immunohistochemistry staining method
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 9 people
